Well I went out on Sunday morning for the first trip on the river.My day started needing a new starting battery voltage was fine the night before. the boat ran like a champ we went down the river doing a nice easy 58mph. When I stopped at my first spot I noticed my pant leg a little wet.
I figured out that my water pressure gauge had failed and was spraying water all over my feet. All my live well and bilge pumps worked fine and the gps/depth finders were god to go the fishing could have been better we only managed 3 the biggest around 2lbs
Water temp was 45 and water was more like chocolate milk.
I also was hassled by the phila police for fishing an area of the river that I have been fishing for 20 years SHE said I was too close to the refinery that was 1/2 mile away I asked her when this took affect and was told after 9/11. I have fished this area every weekend on the river and have never had a problem other officers even asked me how the fishing was I guess she was having a bad day.
She called the marine police and coast guard but we had left before they arrived (I did see them run down the river as I fished another area)
